Muscovy maturing questions

I have some 8-9 week muscovy ducks. When do they start to defend themselves from the chickens? My drake is already much much bigger than the chickens, but he is not defending his hens. At what age does he become mature

usually by 6 months they are adults but my drake is over 5 yrs and gives some of my chickens a wide birth. I do not pen my chickens and ducks up together. 8-9 weeks is way to young to be defending his girls they mature [email protected]
